Mr. Vigorito is a sex therapist, author and trainer.  As a psychotherapist, he provides individual, couples and group psychotherapy for a broad range of sexual and behavioral health concerns: relationship and sexual dissatisfaction, consensual sexual problems, sexual disorders, erotic and identity conflicts, and sex-related drug use.

In collaboration with Douglas Braun-Harvey, LMFT, Mr. Vigorito co-developed a sexual health assessment and treatment protocol, published in Treating Out of Control Sexual Behavior - Rethinking Sex Addiction (recipient of the SSTAR 2018 Health Professional Book Award).

In addition to his work with federal initiatives, Mr. Vigorito offers both local and national workshops for behavioral health professionals on a range of sexual health topics, including the assessment and treatment of out-of-control sexual behavior (OCSB), sexuality and gender diversity, and integrating sexual health into clinical practice.
